Well, I've got quite a few little things I've neglected to post about. I've been so on the heavy side of posting lately. Oh well. It beats not having anything meaningful to talk about. Anyway, to the quick hits:
I neglected to post that I had lunch with an old friend of mine a couple of weeks ago when he came to town.
Tim Ellsworth
(who runs a site I regularly link to and participate on) was in town doing what has to be one of the coolest side-jobs in the world. He got to hang with
MLB
umpires in preparation for an article he's working on. We had a great time over lunch. I really enjoyed it.
Second, I played basketball yesterday. While that's not noteworthy in itself, I didn't get a concussion - which is a nice change of pace from the LAST time I played b-ball. Yes, Mom, I did get an officially diagnosed concussion a couple of weeks ago and I hadn't told you yet. :) Everything is fine now. As long as I don't get another one, I'll be OK. If I do, no contact sports (which basketball ISN'T supposed to be anyway) for me for a year! :S
Next, I've had a noticeable but intermittent tremor easily since highschool. I won't go into the convoluted details and history, but I've been diagnosed with chronic reactive hypoglycemia. I've done the blood test and while we're having trouble "catching me in the act", it's all but concluded. I'm now going to go to a more frequent and structured eating plan (every 3 hours seems to be my trouble-spot) and have a monitor to check my sugars when I feel symptoms coming on. So, we'll see what happens. What's really odd is that as a teen, I was told I was pre-diabetic (a.k.a. border-line). My pancreas seems to have swung the other way now - which isn't altogether a good long term sign for him/it/whatever...
The summary is that I've been to a doctor more in the last two months than I'd probably been in the previous 10 years. Not that that's a bad thing...
Finally, I'm going to be moving hosting providers (where my websites and email lives). So, if you notice any unavailability on sites or email, please be patient. I'll do my best to minimize any outages.
Later.
